123 hydro fan/shroud question
After a long put off project (over 2 years) I have fully committed to putting my 123 back together. It originally was split because of a drive shaft issue, primarily because of excessive wear at the drive shaft flex coupling, which threw the entire drive shaft badly out of balance. I have a new drive shaft, new flex disc, new fan, new roll pins, and had the worn coupler on the hydro side bored and sleeved.
With that story out of the way, here's the question: Is the fan intended to sit inside the shroud, or directly in front of it? If it has to sit inside the shroud to work properly, then I have other issues, because after adjusting the position of the fan shroud as much as I could manage the fan still overhangs the shroud enough that it would rub badly and possibly break. If the fan is intended to sit in front of the shroud, as it appears the old one did, I should be ready to do the final assembly. I just don't trust that it was assembled correctly when I bought it, as I have no idea who performed work on it prior to my ownership. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks. That means it was installed incorrectly when I got it. It already had one of the newer plastic fans on it. How tight does the clearance need to be inside that shroud? Right now it seems like the clearance with the new plastic shroud is maybe 1/32nd when the fan is centered, which doesn't leave much room to play with. Looks like right now my options are either to try bending the fan shroud into a better position, or shaving a little off the fan blades to give myself some additional wiggle room inside the shroud.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
